Southern Rhone & Domaine Rouge-Bleu

If you’re thinking of visiting the Southern Rhone, you should consider a stay at Domaine Rouge-Bleu. The estate is in the Cotes du Rhone and is close to all the towns you might want to visit: Rasteau, Cairanne, Gigondas, and of course, Chateauneuf-du-Pape. They have three beautiful B&B rooms overlooking the vineyards. Thomas and Caroline will help you with lots of local advice on where to go and especially where to eat!

The Dentelles de Montmirail

Old vines, no support. Traditional gobelet style.

Not just in Chateauneuf-du-Pape. The ground is filled with galets from ancient riverbeds.

Farming approaches of several owners are visible between adjacent tracts. Vines trained on a wire.
